Web Controls Toolbar

The Web Controls toolbar allows you to create user interface controls in the Applet Layout Editor. You can reposition the toolbar as a floating window anywhere on the screen, or you can place it with the other toolbars at the top of the screen. The toolbar supports drag-and-drop behavior for the creation and placement of new controls. The Web Controls toolbar contains drop-down lists, fields, and buttons.

Drop-Down Lists and Fields

  • Mode. This drop-down list lets you select the applet mode, such as Base or Edit. Values in the drop-down list indicate whether a given mode is active or inactive.
  • Template. This field shows the Web template associated with the selected mode.
  • Control Type. This drop-down list lets you insert a custom control type into a template. Works together with the Custom Control button.
